In order for the brakes to function with the most efficiency and least wear, it is imperative that the callipers calipers and brake disks should line up exactly. If they are off by even a few mm, it will force the brake disk to be bent at an angle by the calliperscalipers. To prevent this from happening, it is a good idea to allow the brake disks to float on the bobbins so that when the callipers calipers press the break pads onto the brake disks, the break disk can move over the distance necessary to be aligned.

-on the upright: 0.05mm
-on the spindle: 01mm0.1mm
-on the hub face: 0.05mm
-on the callipers:calipers: 0.15mm (obtained from Wilwood phone call)
-on the brake pads: 0.29mm 17mm (on Wilwoods website it says the pads are 7.6mm thick, after taking an average of a sample of pads 7.59mm was found. The lowest thickness was 7.48mm and the largest thickness was 7.77mm so the variance was taken.)
TOTAL VARIANCE: 0.52mm
The brake disk/rotor can be between 0.15"-0.20" thick. Ours is currently a little but bit too thin.
